Let’s talk about boundaries on two tracks.
First, on the issue of boundaries themselves, which we will delve into later on this month, though I am interested in your thoughts now.
As well, I want you to place an overlay of race when it comes to the concept of boundaries, particularly when it comes to white people interacting/engaging with people of color–most particularly white women and women of color.
Queries:
* how does privilege inform boundary setting and boundary honoring?
* how do you conceptualize boundaries?
* how do the issues of power dynamics come into play?
* are boundaries rigid or flexible?
* what about when someone sets boundaries with you?
* what is the purpose of boundaries?
* when are boundaries used in service to white supremacy?
You should be able to, if you click on the post, see the comments in the original. I encourage you to do so.
Confession: Of all the admins, i am the least savvy tech wise; i am sharing this embedded link hoping it works. if it doesn’t we’ll fix it. eta: the link didn’t work. I will tag someone more savvy than I.
